The following operational factors influenced the development in November.
ESTONIA-FINLAND:
M/S Galaxy, larger in capacities, operates Helsinki-Tallinn route instead of M/S Romantika.
Higher cargo capacity in November 2006 compared to the November 2005 which is resulted from the operations of larger vessel M/S Regal Star on the route instead of the M/S Kapella .
ESTONIA-SWEDEN:
M/S Romantika, larger in capacities, operates Tallinn-Stockholm line instead of M/S Regina Baltica.
Resulting from the swap of M/S Regal Star and M/S Kapella the car deck capacity was on the other hand smaller on Estonia-Sweden routes which resulted lower volumes. The cargo and vehicle volumes on Estonia-Sweden routes is partly also affected from the fact that some Latvian and Lithuanian customers are using Latvia-Sweden route instead.
